Our technical fibres also benefit from the antibacterial treatment CIMAFRESH which gives our fabrics an anti-bacterial effect*. This

What is a technical t-shirt?
A technical t-shirt is a garment designed for physical and sporting activities. It is made from technical materials that allow efficient moisture and sweat management, helping to keep the body dry and cool during exercise. Technical t-shirts can also offer protection against the sun and the elements, as well as muscle support. Technical t-shirts are often made from synthetic fabrics such as polyester, elastane or nylon, which are lightweight, breathable and resistant to wear. They can also incorporate technologies such as compression, ventilation and odour management to improve performance and comfort during physical activity.
How to choose the material for your hiking t-shirt or shirt?
Choosing the right material for a hiking t-shirt or shirt depends on several factors, such as weather conditions, activity level and the type of hiking you plan to do. Avoid cotton, as it absorbs and retains moisture, which can cause discomfort and even hypothermia if you get wet and the temperature drops. Instead, opt for synthetic materials. Hiking t-shirts and shirts in polyester, elastane, merino wool and nylon, or blends of these materials, are often a good option. These materials are lightweight, breathable and dry quickly, making them ideal for hiking in fine weather.
What are the benefits of anti-UV hiking t-shirts and shirts?
If you are going hiking in sunny locations, it is important to choose a material that offers protection against UV rays. Many hiking t-shirts and shirts are treated with special coatings to provide additional sun protection. This helps protect the skin from burns, sunburn and damage caused by UV rays.
